The Imperial Palace of the Western Divine Kingdom and the Eastern Emperor Divine Kingdom were divided into three parts. The Imperial Capital of the Western Divine Kingdom was originally the imperial capital of East Continent before the division.
Donghuang City is backed by Donghuang Mountain, and the Donghuang River flows from the mountain and flows westward into the sea along Donghuang City.
Between Dongzhou and Zhongzhou, ships can directly follow the Donghuang River to reach the imperial capital. Therefore, Donghuang City is also the most prosperous city in the entire Dongzhou. Now Zhongzhou is in chaos. Although Dongzhou is divided into three, the West God Kingdom
One side occupies half of it, so today the world is considered a first-class powerful country.
Today, Yang Yanshun, the emperor of the Western God Kingdom, is an emperor in his thirties who ascended the throne at a young age. He is more ambitious than the previous emperor. One of the sources of his ambition is that he sat on the throne as a non-legitimate son.
The second is the victory two years ago, and in recent years he has eliminated several imperial brothers who were threats to him. It can be said that he is really in control of the power now, but at this juncture, Tianzhu City is lost, so forget it.
, sent an army of 300,000 to take it back, but ended up causing a farce for themselves. First, the troops from various counties were delayed in gathering, and then they were fighting, and then a civil uprising broke out behind them, forcing the army in front to mobilize people?
Chaos, which made Yang Yanshun very angry.
At present, Mo Yiqi, the Governor of the Eastern Expedition, and Fang Yutao, the governor of Nanliang County, were kneeling in front of the hall. The civil and military officials in the court were silent. Yang Yanshun glared at the two people, making the hall even quieter.
It was naturally impossible for no one to speak. After Yang Yanshun glanced at the two people, he finally asked Mo Yiqi: "Mo Yiqi, when you led the army on the expedition, you promised in this hall that you would definitely win the battle.
Lower Tianzhu City, where is it now?"
"Your Majesty, I am not good at words, but I can only say a few words. First, if the troops from several counties had not arrived late, I would have taken Tianzhu City a few days earlier. Even if I arrived late, I would have conquered Tianzhu City in autumn.
However, if there is no civil uprising, Weichen can capture Tianzhu City in winter. Weichen left the county and specifically asked the staff general to stay and make arrangements, and warned that some fertile fields had been destroyed due to enemy harassment before, and he wanted to appease the people, but
…”
Fang Yutao didn't wait for Mo Yiqi to finish speaking and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, this is all Mo Yiqi shirking responsibility. As soon as his army arrived in the county, the enemy sent thousands of troops to harass and destroy a lot of fields. As a result, Mo Yiqi sent
The people and horses encircled and suppressed them, but they were completely attacked by others, and a lot of people and horses were lost..."
Mo Yiqi didn't wait for him to finish speaking this time and immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, if the army is assembled earlier, all parties can be coordinated, so that they will not be unfamiliar with each other, resulting in unfavorable cooperation. Of course, this battle is indeed
It was my carelessness and I did not expect that Yang Xicheng dared to use extraordinary troops and was willing to be punished."
"You might as well say that you are not as good as Yang Xicheng and it is your incompetence that causes this." Fang Yutao said angrily.
Mo Yiqi looked at Fang Yutao, then at Yang Yanshun, and then repeated: "Your Majesty, if the enemy and we are completely balanced and fighting each other, the humble minister will indeed be inferior to Yang Xicheng."
"Huh? Mo Yiqi, do you think you are inferior?" Yang Yanshun asked in surprise. This would only make others more ambitious and undermine his own prestige.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie. If I just want to save face or shirk responsibility, I can naturally make excuses, but it is not as good as it is. If it is because of some face-related matters that lead to misjudgment on the battlefield, it will be a serious crime. If you want me to win,
Yang Xicheng, I must be at least 30% stronger than the opponent to ensure an 80% chance of winning." Mo Yiqi said.
"Yang Xicheng has less than 80,000 people in the city, and you have 300,000."
"Fang Yutao, shut up. You don't understand the military affairs and wantonly quibble about the civil uprising. You really think you don't know why. It's all because you connive with the big families in the county and wantonly plunder the fields and food of the civilians. I asked you to come here today.
Let's see which one of you is more responsible, Fang Yutao, you have lived for more than a hundred years in vain, and someone dragged him out and showed his head to the public."
"Your Majesty, Governor Fang is the son of Princess Shunyang. He is still your Majesty's biological uncle. Even if he is guilty, he will not be punished with death." After hearing this, someone immediately stood up to plead for mercy.
"You also know that he is a relative of the emperor. That's why he is so arrogant and domineering. Why was Tianzhu City abandoned? Tianzhu City was under the rule of Nanliang County. It was simply abandoned. If you don't kill the waste that brings disaster to the country and the people, do you have to wait until the enemy
Are you going to kill them when the army arrives at Donghuang City?" When Yang Yanshun heard this, he became furious.
Seeing him like this, no one else dared to say anything. Fang Yutao was also frightened and shouted: "I want to see the Queen Mother, I want to see the Queen Mother."
"How can my mother be seen by a criminal like you? Come back, please go back and send his head back to the victims. You can handle the matter of Lu Zhi. While sending the head back, by the way,
We have mobilized 200,000 kilograms of grain and you will be in charge of Nanliang County for the time being. If something happens again, you will deal with it the same way." Yang Yanshun shouted.
"I obey the decree." An old man with half-white hair and beard stood up at this moment and agreed timidly.
After dealing with this matter, Yang Yanshun looked at Mo Yiqi and asked: "To capture Tianzhu City, what else do you need?"
"Your Majesty, the time has passed. Unless General Yi Shen is resurrected, Wei Chen's ability will not be able to do it. I still ask Your Majesty to convict you. Wei Chen is willing to train new soldiers for Your Majesty, and even stand guard for Your Majesty, but Wei Chen's ability is really limited.
It can't be done unless a new opportunity arises." Mo Yiqi kowtowed while saying.
"Who can do it? If we capture Tianzhu City, I will be named a divine general!" Yang Yanshun looked at the row of military attachés, but no one stood up in the end.
"Seventh uncle, you agreed to Mo Yiqi's taking command, but now you are the highest-ranking general in the court, what do you think?" Yang Yanshun asked.
Standing at the top of a row of generals, a tall old man with silver hair stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mo Yiqi said was not to shirk responsibility. Tianzhu City had just been captured by the local government, and the fortifications on all sides had not been completed. It was natural to send troops immediately.
There was a chance to recapture it, but several counties were delayed in sending troops. The longest delay was nearly a month. This really had a great impact. After all, it would take time for the army to come to these counties and integrate them together. As far as I know, Mo Yiqi still has
The troops from the two counties did not arrive, so they rushed out to fight. It was a helpless move. Fortunately, they also achieved some results. If they waited until winter, the newly built city walls would easily loosen in the winter. With continuous attacks, there would be a chance to break through the city walls and occupy the Tianzhu.
The city, Mo Yiqi knew, could be captured in the winter, but it is a pity that the opportunity has been missed now. If we fight again next year, the city defense will only be more stable. It is unwise to attack the natural danger, but the place can take advantage of my paralysis to capture the Tianzhu City.
It is not impossible for us to find an opportunity to recapture it, and I think this is the opportunity Mo Yiqi is referring to."
"What the Seventh Uncle said is absolutely true. It's just that General Yi Shen has just left, and Yang Xicheng has stood up among the traitors in the south. Could it be that as soon as General Yi leaves, there will be no one left in our Donghuang Divine Kingdom?" Yang Yanshun asked.
